A social networking service for mobile phones, Friendlee takes Facebook and makes it mobile and location-aware. The service automatically creates a digital village in relation to the amount of interactions each user has. The more the user calls or texts one person, the higher up he or she will be on the user’s list. If that person allows the user—and vice versa—each can see where the other is, what time it is where they are, and what the weather is like. Plus, users can access each others profiles to see what music their friends like, what books they’ve read, and what their favorite restaurants are.

This web-based consultative service quickly and cost-effectively creates custom relevant taxonomies to enhance the productivity of workers managing enterprise information. Used by IT managers, content management professionals, and corporate librarians, taxonomies typically take four months to create from scratch. HP Taxonom addresses that issue by creating custom, relevant taxonomies within days.
